In place of these, they are using kindness, consideration, and a broad-mind ed approach as they paddle on the creek toward the town of Under standing. A cloudless sky which holds no promise of rain hovers over a parched farm, which longs for every precious drop that might fall from heaven. The ground is hard, and the wind dances with joy as it kicks up a sheet of dust which causes a pall of despair to cover ever}' object. A misty haze is cast over the surrounding trees, making them look hot and de pressed, as if they were a frame for the pictures of brown and gray painted there by the drought. Once there wms life on the farm. The farm once heard the laughter and felt the bare feet of the chil dren who lived in the little brown farm house. A blanket of sand now- creeps over the entire farm and smothers the last sparks of hope. Now only the breath of the dr}- wind can be heard howling across the bleached fields. The drought renews its victorj' each day as it paints a dismal scene across the parched land. Now the farm is just a barren stretch of land, but someday rain might come again; yes, maybe. Tragedy on the highways is in evitably accompanied by a blast from a horn of an automobile. There was a screech of brakes, a shrill blast of a horn, a woman’s scream, and then silence. One can visit any of the war- plagued countries of Europe and see the effects of the blast of an air raid horn. The people have learned to associate the sound with death, because during the Second World War air raid horns al ways announced the coming of enemy airplanes carrying missiles of death. Horns are a peculiar lot. Some of them proclaim tragedy, w-arning and fear; others relief and joy. Let us not think only of the dark side of a horn’s life, for there is joy and happiness also in the life c}cle of a horn. Can one imagine what kind of thrill a three year old youngster gets from blowing a Halloween horn? To him it is a type of fun or recreation. He creeps behind someone and gives forth a loud “toot.” The startled person jumps, and one can see joy spread over the child’s face as he watches the reactions of his victim. This horn represents only joy and fun to him. t^ttxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxj Horns are also a sign of relief to many people. They are used in many factories to announce breaks, lunch periods, and finally quitting time. The sound of a horn sig nifying quitting time brings re lief and relaxation to a worker who has labored for eight hours. He learns to forget his toil and strain, and to place himself on a different pedestal — the pedestal of self-government. A horn is as much a part of life as any other device, It will continue to be one of the main stays in life as long as it an nounces tragedy, fear, joy nd relief.
